Joey Logano: Fifth-Place at Bristol

Logano finished fifth in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday night.

Analysis:

Logano would line up 22nd on the starting grid due to a subpar qualifying effort. However, the veteran driver would quickly figure out it was a tire management game and race appropriately. Logano would very patiently work his way through traffic to get to the front by stage 3. He would lead 7 laps down the stretch and battle among the leaders in the closing laps. Logano couldn't get past Ryan Blaney and would settle for a strong fifth-place at the checkered flag as he advances into the next round of the playoffs.
